2012 - The Year in Review


As we turn the corner on another year, I would like to just go back and thank all of our loyal clients who trusted us with their vacations in 2012.This past year was the best year in the 8 year history of Hurley World Travel, Inc., and we have our tremendous clients to thank for that.

We were given the opportunity to help plan one clients' trip to Costa Rica. This was a fully customized journey to the Arenal area of Costa Rica, complete with volcano views, followed by a drive across Costa Rica to the Guanacaste region. Our clients enjoyed themselves at a beachfront all-inclusive resort for the remainder of their stay, while partaking in ecotours and zip lining.

We helped another client enjoy a return trip to Kauai in Hawaii. The family stayed at The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa and enjoyed horseback riding, touring the island and just relaxing in the beach.

We also planned a honeymoon in Ireland for a newly married couple, a number of family trips to Walt Disney World, a ladies group trip to Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun in Mexico, numerous trips to the Caribbean, namely Jamaica and Punta Cana. We did another honeymoon in Riviera Maya and helped plan a destination wedding in Jamaica that is coming up next week.

We helped clients plan a Mediterranean cruise, a wedding anniversary trip to Sedona and the Gran Canyon, a multi-family Disney Cruise and other trips to Ireland, just to name a few. My favorite vacation this year was the customized Irish golf tour I put together and escorted for a group of golfers.

We played rounds of golf at Dooks, Killarney, Tralee, Ballybunion and Adare Manor. This highly inclusive trip was the highlight of my travel year, as I got to introduce some golfers to Irish links golf (sometimes played in 40 mph winds!), Irish hospitality, beautiful scenery and generally great comradery. It was an outstanding vacation for me and the clients that I escorted.

As 2013 starts to get really rolling, think back to January 1 and all the resolutions you made. Hopefully, none have been broken yet. But if they have, it's not too late to make a new one...travel more in the coming year. Vow to go someplace you've never been. Cross that travel experience off of your bucket list!
